Prayer Journal: Entry #1

Friends,

I have recently decided to reread (not at any particular pace) my prayer journals that date back to within a year (March 2002) of my conversion to Christianity (Spring 2001). My reasoning in this is to celebrate God’s faithfulness, to remember his salvation and calling upon my life, and to be encouraged in my present walk with God. Perhaps too, these entries may be some encouragement to you.

This first entry is a poem. I titled it “The Unknown Christian Soldier,” I don’t recall why exactly. The main character is obviously the Lord Jesus. I think maybe that I recall the poem flowing out of a contentment about being an unknown Christian worker, which then led to considering how even the Lord Jesus was lowly with regard to a reputation in the world. May God bless you as you continue to follow him today.
